 We visited the site for 2 nights (midweek) during the summer holidays. Overall not a bad site but we wouldn't choose to return.
Positives
-friendly reception. When pitch allocated was unsuitable, the staff quickly changed us to a larger less muddy pitch.
- Set in beautiful countryside with lovely views of area from site.
- Short walk to local villages with several restaurants/bars.
- 2 small playgrounds (one for under fives).
- Pleasant bar serving a range of draught drinks at reasonable prices.
- Sufficient toilets/showers even in busy periods. One hairdryer with good flow available.
- Shop providing a range of camping/food essentials at not so bad prices.
Negatives
-some pitches where very tight and muddy. Although we only had a small tent our guide ropes had to be crossed with our neighbours. Think this also contributed to the noise during evenings - we had at least 8 other tents within hearing distance.
- Maybe we have been lucky on sites in the past, but we found the toilet/shower blocks to be very grubby! Although appearing relatively new, the tiles and doors in showers were covered with dust, soapscum and dirt. On our second night we decided to be the great unwashed rather than visit them again. Also on several occasions some toilets had run out of toilet paper. No vanity cubicles are available so shaving/brushing teeth/washing has to be done at sinks near toilets.
- Lots of litter appeared around playground and bar area at different times during the day.

Have just come back from greenhills, it was our first trip to the peak district so wasn't to sure of what to expect but was pleasantly surprised, the site itself was lovely.
There was a bar, with a large gazebo outside and plenty of outdoor seating, and also 2 playgrounds next to the bar, one for older children and one for younger, also a large playing field next to the play areas with goal posts
The 2 toilet blocks was a good idea, as one was open whilst the other was closed for cleaning, and they were always spotless, there was plenty of water, and on the times I went for a shower, there wasn't a queue and it was always hot.
The pitches were rather sloped, but luckily we had one that wasn't to sloped,
We chose the site because of its closeness to Bakewell and Matlock bath, both very nice, we also visited the nearby heights of Abraham which was a bit expensive but a very good day out, on the evenings we took a walk, and was surprised to find a waterfall, also the nearby river Wye was full of trout - which seemed to steal the bread we were giving to the ducks, that was a giggle, there was some quite big ones in there by the look of it, the stable bar was reasonably priced, and , we hadn't realised it, but there was free wi-fi in the bar, which could of been handy if we had realised
A brilliant site, I definitely recommend it to everyone with kids of all ages, and will be returning soon

First visit to peak district, and this site ,probably one of the best sites I have stayed at. Very muddy due to rain, well it is summer, but did dry out after couple of days. Pitches can be a bit sloping, but by no means the worst I've encountered. Two children's play areas next to outdoor bar area, very good planning! and ball games area. Shower/toilet areas clean. Bakewell 5 mins drive away, large co op. On site shop basic. Overall superb and will return very soon

A bit of a mixed review from me. Visited in the last week of July during terrible weather. I know nothing can be done about that but it really made things very muddy and difficult.
I found the main electric tent field to be sloping and on arrival I had to refuse the pitch I was given as it was just stupid.
Despite this though, the showers/toilets were clean and tidy. The small shop was well stocked but surely in the middle of the school holidays it should be open more than a few hours a day?(2 in the morning, 2 in the afternoon) The little pub on site was very nice, and the two little parks and huge playing field complete with goal posts were great for the kids.
The main caravan area was nice and flat but it's yet another site where all the fully functional caravans and motorhomes get to pitch right near the facilities whilst the poor campers are a long muddy trudge away despite paying the same per night!
Overall, not a bad site but if it was mine I'd seriously look at investing to terrace the camping fields and put gravel roads in them.

My friend and I stayed here for one night last week and so our experience of the site is pretty limited. We arrived early and received a very warm welcome and was shown to our pitch. All was fine and dandy, apart from the weather, and we pitched our tent and spent the rest of the day walking.
We hardly touched the facilities, but they looked grand, and we spoke to several other campers there who gave the site plenty of praise.
The one downside, and it is fundamental to us, was the noise issue at night. We had a group of youths who were effing and jeffing when they returned from the pub at 2am, and this continued until 2.30am at least, and woke up most of the field and certainly my ten year old daughter heard some language I didn't want her to hear. When the lads were challenged, it was more swearing from them and made no difference to them at all. I understand in the next field a group of youths were up to 4.30am!
Nice site, with good facilities, but its size leads to its own issues with noise.

It was our first time camping and the staff at the park were very helpful and polite.
The site toilets and showers were really spotless and clean . The shop on the sites sells most of what you need (as I forgot a can opener). They only thing was the noise on the site after 11pm. The noise went on till nearly 3am people singing and shouting . But apart from the site it's self was fab

I first came here 30 years ago with my parents and this weekend just one I returned! As others have said the staff are friendly and polite. Our only problem was that we were pitched next to some lads who were loud and foul mouthed (at the top of their voices) until gone 2.30am. Not the kind of thing I want my children to hear. Some campers asked them to calm it down but were met with abuse in return. Next morning I complained at reception and fair play to the owners at Greenhills , they were sympathetic and evicted them. Don't let this put you off as next night was fine with no problem at all. Lots of families use this site and you can see why, two good play areas and a games field. There's real ale at the bar too . I would recommend Greenhills.

Admittedly the weather had been bad prior to arriving which made the ground very wet & muddy.
Staff not very friendly on arrival. Many tents packed close together and cars allowed to drive around tent field which added to the mire.
Literally could not step out of tent without being covered in mud. Shower/toilet facilities inadequate for amount of people on site, as were washing up facilities. This was the most expensive site we had booked after staying at other sites prior to this one.
We were due to stay 3 nights but left after 1

We chose this site for it's proximity to Bakewell, and the onsite facilities. We have been twice to the site, for 4 night stays, in two weeks, due to unexpected time off work!
When we arrived we were impressed by the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness of the site, in particular the shower/toilet facilities, of which there was a main block and also a portakabin style block, again very clean, so when one was being cleaned the other was still open. The hairdryer in the ladies main block was very useful. We never had to queue for a shower, water was hot.
Pitches were a decent size, we had wonderful views from our pitch. We had EHU, water taps were nearby. I used the laundry room once, at £1.20 per wash and 20p for 10 minutes in the dryer, this is the first time in 14 years of camping that I did not feel like I was being overcharged for doing my laundry. They even sell individual liquid laundry tablets for 50p in the shop, so you don't need to buy a whole pack for one wash! Washing up facilities were fine, mostly clean, but then you always get some people who leave food scraps and mess around the sinks. One evening we went to wash up, it was getting dark, and the lights were not on by the sinks, a staff member was passing so we asked him why there was no light, he told us there was a fault so they had had to put off those lights, we said 'don't worry we'll be fine' he then went off and less than a minute later had hooked up a temporary inspection lamp to enable us to do our dishes, now that's customer service for you!
The site was not too busy in the week, but filled up at weekends. We prefer it less busy, but it did not feel overcrowded.
We had three children with us, ranging in age from 10 to 15, they have been camping since babies so are well used to it, and they had a great time, running around and meeting new friends.
The playground facilities are good, with one for older children and a smaller one for toddlers. The field for ball games is great, plenty of space for letting off steam. We had a drink in the little bar a couple of times, which was very nice, reasonable prices and a nice, fairly quiet atmosphere. The shop was basic but useful for milk, bread etc.
The only downside we could see was the charge for gazebos, we use one to sit outside and also to cook under, and before we arrived we were slightly put off by the £10 a night surcharge, and decided to only put it up if it was raining, and then pay for it at reception. Yes you guessed it, it was indeed raining, and I went off to reception to pay for our four night stay, and to my delight was only charged £5 per night for the gazebo, still quite a lot, but less than I had expected. I feel it is somewhat unfair to charge more for a gazebo than an awning, but was told by staff that it was due to the damage to the grass. My final question on this was were the newer tents with canopy extensions charged the same?
Anyway, that aside, we loved the site, and despite iffy weather, we had a great time, we walked into Bakewell, which was a pleasant walk, and visited Matlock Bath, Castleton, Peak Cavern etc. The Castle Inn in Bakewell is an excellent place for lunch, with 2 meals for £10, decent home cooked food, freshly prepared. There is a Co-op in Bakewell which was very reasonable for food shopping, and is quite a large store, so plenty of choice. Near the Co-op is a fish and chip shop, which is good. Overall we would highly recommend this site to families with children of all ages.

Warm welcome on arrival. Site full though surprisingly one field -the one with the best views - remained completely unoccupied! We heard that some people wanted to stay on but couldn't because the site was full.
The loos and showers were clean and never overcrowded though my wife found that in the late afternoon several loos had no paper. The shop caters for desperate buyers. You obviously pay for convenience. Cosy bar selling real ale at £1.50 per pint.
We enjoy walking, so the trip to Bakewell was easy though lorries do use the road a lot. Also used the country route encountering llamas on the way!
Bakewell will interest the tourist whilst the co-op caters for all foodies. Talking of which - Bakewell tart is a must!
Don't forget. NO DIGITAL TV in the area.
